Pete Carroll talks about the difficulty of waiving receiver Kasen Williams

RENTON, Wash. -- Undoubtedly one of the toughest decisions the Seattle Seahawks made while setting their 53-man roster over the weekend was waiving wide receiver Kasen Williams, one of the standouts of the preseason.

Williams made nine catches -- including a few that were spectacular -- for 208 yards and a touchdown, which seemed like enough to earn a roster spot. The Seahawks instead went with Tanner McEvoy as their fifth and final receiver behind Doug Baldwin, Tyler Lockett, Paul Richardson and rookie Amara Darboh, a third-round pick who was outplayed by Williams in the preseason.
